Jim Doyleâ??s top lieutenant without considering other candidates. State Administration Secretary Michael Morganâ??s new job as the systemâ??s senior vice president for administration and fiscal affairs provides him with a 79% boost in pay.Morgan, who makes $136,944 as administration secretary, will receive $245,000 a year when he takes the new job July 6.
